Faay felt like she was going to vomit on the spot as well what with the sappy lovey dovey couple. She looked back and forth at Rena and Haven and realized what Haze was doing. She smiled flirtatiously and hooked her arm around his and started strolling away.

Haven laughed and said, "You don't have to apologize for what God has given you. You can't help it that you are so breath taking." He stopped, realizing what he had splurtted out and shook his head. "Sorry for sounding so cheesy. You make me say stupid things and act all goofy. My heart is pounding right now I am surprised you can't hear it." He stared at his feet, unsure of how Rena is going to react

Rena stared at him for a moment raising one eye brow slightly higher then the other.. It wasn't only her acting strangly. Before she could react another girl walked into the room. Her hair was short, black and spiky. Rena knew who it was with out even asking her name. And in behind Nicolette was Soran. He was hard to explain.

Haze walked arm in arm as they made there was to the stage.

Cure tensed up as Nicolette and Soran came into the room. He looked behind him, tilting his head as his asked, "What, Haze had to send you two to look for me as well? Well, you guys sure suck at it since that slow ass beat you to it." He started drumming his fingers on his thigh and said, "So, I guess we're not practicing anymore?" grinning, he grabbed Rena by the waist and started pulling her away, "See you guys later!"

Faay wasn't actually sure what they were supposed to do on the stage. They walked up the stairs and she slowly unhooked from Haze, realizing her bold move. She bit her lip as Haze moved ahead looking at things. What exactly am I supposed to say or do? I feel like just a pretty doll to be used... Faay's eyes began to empty as her emotions began to drain away. She was almost in her "trance state" until the other two band members interrupted it. She turned around, watching the conversation as Haven began walking away with Rena. A flicker of anger sparked inside of her as she spotted his arm around her waist. She was compelled to go after him, but she knew her place. She looked back at Haze and spoke quietly, "Haven is leaving the room with our lady Rena."

Haze didn't think much of it till Faay uttered the words; "Haven is leaving." He then looked up from where he was weaving his hands in and out ofthe speaker wires and looked at the couple as they made their exit. He didn't want Haven to give away their bestkept secret, or Cure to ruin the friendship that Haven and Rena had made. He looked back at Faay and placed a fake smile on his face. "I'm sure that they will be alright." -Just as long as Cure got back in time for the show, cause the one thing that Cure like more then the Lime light was Girls.-

Rena was surprised by the sudden movements of Haven and couldn't do much to stop it before she came to her senses when they were out of the auditorium. When she looked up at Haven she noticed something was a bit different... Like he was the cure that she fawned over all these years. The cold hearted, smartass that she saw the first time at the first concert.

Faay did not recognize the face Haze was expressing. It was peculiar, as if he was forcing it. His words sounded doubtful in her ears and her heart pounded faster in panic. She swallowed and she smiled, fluttering her eyes. "I am sure you are correct, Haze. After all, you know your brother best."

Cure continued walking down the hallway, away from the auditorium, gripping tightly on Rena's waist now. He drummed on Rena's hip a fast rhythm. He really needed a cigarette again, but he didn't want to leave Rena. She might get smart and go back to Faay and Haze. He bit his lip and glanced at Rena sneakily. She always seems nervous around me. Cure smiled as if he thought of something sinister. I like it when they are shy like this. More willing... Haven suddenly stopped, his arm pulled away from Rena's waist. His breath was heavy, his heart pounding, and fear enveloped his blue eyes as he stared at Rena.

Haze counted to himself till he reached about fifty. Would Haven really let Cure hurt Rena? He didn't know and by this time they could be anywhere. He looked up at Faay and struggled to tell her. "I think that we should really leave them alone." Maybe it would make Haven quit giving into his other personality if it was to hurt the one person that he loved... But at the expense of Rena's sanity... It was hard enough for Haze to watch his brother struggle with the strong willed.

Rena noticed a difference in the way that he was acting when he suddenly pulled away, he was no longer staring at her with harsh eyes. "What's going on?" She questioned.

Faay could tell that something was wrong with Haze. She knew that he was lying when he said Rena and Haven should be left alone. She bit her lip and argued with herself of what actions she should take for a few seconds. Faay knew that Rena was not safe and she should go after Rena. However she simply smiled and tilted her head as she said, "Of course, Haze. Whatever you say."

Haven's shoulders sank as his breath escaped his lungs when Rena turned her back to him. He did it again, he's hurting the one he cares for. He slowly knelt down, his hands covering his head. He didn't know what to do or say to her. He couldn't do anything but try to control his other self. Cure..I wish you would just disappear..

Rena didn't know what to say, she just felt so weak. Was he going through a mental breakdown? Maybe the lime light was finally getting to him. "Do you need to go to the hospital?" She asked as she walked up behind him and touched his shoulder. "Are you okay enough to play tonight... It would be bad if you did this on stage." She whispered thinking about his wellbeing.

Haze finally stood up and looked at everyone in the room. "There's a short in the speakers, we need to have it looked at before we go on tonight." He looked over at Nicolette and tapped his wrist. "The electrician in this place is not going to get the message through brain waves, go fetch him." He almost snapped. He was always like this before a show, since Cure always comes out and gives him grief. Nicolette nodded and ran out of the room with soran behind her, leaving Faay and Haze alone. Haze leaned up against one of the large sound woofers and inhaled deeply placing he hand on his fore head. 'I hope she's alright.' He thought to himself as he stared at the ground.

Cure looked up at Rena and smiled weakly. He grabbed her nervous hands and gently pulled her down with him. He wrapped his arms around her and whispered into her black hair, "I will be fine as long as you are there, front and center where I can see you." He stroked her hair as he squeezed her tighter.


Faay was shocked of Haze's sudden outburst and almost flinched when he snapped at his band members. She looked down as she played with her overflowing dress, again uncertain of what she should do. She did not know how to handle an upset Haze.

Rena looked at Haven and couldn't help but smile. "I don't have that great of seats." She whispered in all honesty. She had tried to get good seats but the only one's that were left were middle and back. She sighed and finally relaxed, who was she kidding Haven couldn't change he was probably just excited to get out there in front of everyone. "But I will be cheering for you, no doubt about it." She said with a small smile.

Haze looked at Faay and sighed. "I'm sorry you had to see that," He whispered. "I just get so frustrated when things aren't perfect before a show." He walked over to the petite blond and stood in front of her. "Do you mind if I hug you?" He asked shyly.

Cure smiled and he leaned in closer so he could cup Rena's cheek with his hand. He gazed into her green eyes, his face serious, a move that always wins the girls' heart. "I will change that so the only one you can see and hear is me.." He slid his hand down to her chin so he can gently lift it up. He closed his eyes and leaned in closer...


Faay understood what Haze meant by perfection. She had a daily routine in order to obtain it. When she looked up, she was flustered to find beautiful Haze right there. She forgot how tall he was, how lean and athletic appearing, how soft his skin was, how kind his eyes revealed. She wanted to swoon and faint right there into his gentle hands. It is as if he just stepped out of one of her romance novels. When he asked that question, Faay blurted out "O-of course!" without even thinking. She gasped when she realized she accepted the invitation and began panicking again.

Rena was surprised by the sudden movement, and no doubt she really wanted to kiss Haven but even that didn't change the fact that she a fiance. She looked tried to look away as the reddness covered her cheeks. "I-I can't." Her eyes flitted over to Haven's Ice blue eyes, she almost drowned in them.

Haze smiled at her reaction, he had never seen anyone act so cute. He took her answer and wrapped his arms around her. He leaned down just enough that his head was resting on her shoulder. "I'm glad you came here tonight, I was hoping to see you before the long school break was over." He confessed.

((Rena has a fiance??))

Cure smiled and turned her head back to face him. He slowly frowned and gave her that ol' puppy dog eyed look. "Why... I mean.. You do like me..right?" With his other hand, he squeezed her hand, showing that he really needed her to say yes.

Faay tensed up when Haze hugged her. She never liked hugs or even being touched. She squeezed her eyes shut and slowly began to relax. She wrapped her arms around Haze's body and hugged him back. She inhaled deeply, taking in his toxicating scent. Faay blushed when he confessed his eagerness to see her as she mumbled, "I wanted to see you too..so much..."

((Yeah, Elliot Aaroke they were arranged to be married when she was ten and he was seventeen))

Rena looked at him and finally nodded.


Haze finally let go and turned away. He was blushing, he couldn't believe that he was so bold. In fact it reminded him of Cure. "I'm sorry I was to forward." He whispered.

((since when??))

Faay looked down and held her hands together. She was happy that Haze hugged him, surprisingly. "No, it is fine. You are not being foward, simply expressing your feelings... for me.. what exactly would that be?" She couldn't believe she was actually asking him what he thought of her. Right here and now. How foolish she was behaving. But, she couldn't wait any longer. The idea of their relationship possibly being more was driving her insane!

Cure smiled his signature smile as he moved in those few little inches. His lips touched Rena's for the first time. It was different somehow from other girls. Her lips felt different, but good at the same time. Haven suddenly pulled away as he looked down, confusion played across his face. What are you doing? We're not even together! You're moving way too fast!

((Since I decided it so in the chapter that I wanted you to read lol. He's a novelist and is hardly ever around, but he appears every once in a while.))

When Haven pulled away Rena realized what she did. She wasn't supposed to do that but she got swept away in the tide. "I'm sorry." She whispered as she stood. "I-I have to go." She stated as she started to walk backwards. "I-I guess I'll see you when your on the stage." She said as she turned away and started to walk back to find Faay. But she had never been in this arena. It was so big, how was she supposed to get back before she got lost.

Haze looked at Faay and smiled. "I guess we'll find out wont we." The truth was he liked her alot but he didn't want to rush anything. He wasn't even the type to actually hug some one that he wasn't actually involved with. Maybe deep down he was hoping that she would want something more.. But knowing that he was part a a band that was in the top of the top ten could be a bad experience.

Haven wasn't really sure what just happened. Did he really kiss Rena? Things were going way out of control. I didn't want this, I mean, not like this..Haven stared at the floor, still on his knees. He felt hopeless and empty. He did not want to go up on stage and only feel Rena's eyes among thousands glower at him for the creeper he was. "I'm such an idiot!" Haven seethed.


Faay's heart sank when Haze said that. She was hoping for some romantic scene where he would kneel down, hold her hand in his, and confess his undying love to her. I read too much books.. His smile, though, gave her some hope as she slightly smiled back at him. We can't rush this. Just let it happen.

The wind whipped around Rena as she ran outside. She leaned against the wall and started to exhale and inhale rapidly, her heart thudding against her chest way to fast. She placed her hand over the large muscle and started to sink to the ground. "Not now, not at a time like this." She whispered as she looked up at the sky. She kept her breathing normal but it didn't stop her vision from going out. As her vision went to darkness she could see Haven at the end of the long hall. She went to reach for him but as if it was a magic mirror his face turned from the nice kind face of Haven and a lot colder version of Cure. She didn't understand this at all but what ever it was it was going to bother her.

Haze looked up from Faay and looked towards the door. "Wonder what the two of them are doing, they've been gone for a long time." It was only then that he started to worry about their disappearance. "I actually think that I should go looking for them." He said as she started to walk around her. "I'm getting a bit worried.." -he stopped for a moment then looked at Faay.- "Cause the show is starting and all." He said trying to cover up his tracks. He held out his hand to the blond. "Care to join me?" He asked quietly.

Faay looked towards the door as well, realizing how much time has passed. I am sure that Rena and Haven will just waltz on through, laughing and being loud like always. But the quiet stillness continued to contradict her. She whipped her head back to Haze when he asked to join him. Her heart sped as she stared at his hand; the idea of holding it was something she always thought about. She gently slipped her hand into his and waited for his reaction.


Haven sat on the cold tile for a few minutes, arguing with himself. Why am I sitting here? I should go find Rena and apologized. Maybe later we can just laugh it all off. He stood up, his legs numb from kneeling for such a long time. He shook them a bit and walked back to the door that led to the auditorium.

Haze smiled a slight redness running across his face. He was about to start walking down the stairs when Haven walked into the room. He stopped in his tracks as Haven walked into the room alone. "Where is Rena?" He asked.

Rena awoke on the ground of the entrance. People were starting to gather and they were looking straight at her. Her eyes moved around back and fourth before she saw a familiar face coming towards her. He was a 6'1" blond who almost always wore suits but today he was dressed in normal street clothes that any twenty-three year old would wear. His name was Elliot Aaroke, he was a famous novelist, and Rena's fiance. Rena's eyes lit up as he walked towards her then sadness smacked her on the head like a jack hammer. He held out his hand to her as she still sat on the ground.

"Where have you been?" He whispered as she grabbed her hand.

Rena looked at him and used his strength to pull her up. "I came here with Faay." She lied.

((Dun dun dun! The mysterious fiance has appeared!))

Faay's face too turned grim as Haven showed up with Rena missing. Where could she be? The bathroom? Or is she... Faay instantly snatched her hand away, running down the stairs, she swerved past the confused Haven and bolted through the door. Rena wasn't in the hallway.. Where could she have collapsed? Think Faay... Faay ran down the hallway towards the door that led outside

Haven walked through the auditorium and scanned the empty room. Only Haze and Faay. "Where is Rena?" Haven said under his breath. He furrowed his brows as he looked at the shocked Haze and Faay. He was startled when Faay started running towards, unsure of what to do except get out of her way. When the loud footsteps of Faay instantly decreased within seconds, Haven shouted towards Haze, "What happened? Where is Rena?!"

Haze quickly approached Haven and rose his hand to smack him but then placed his arm back at his side. "You need to control Cure." He whispered without answering his question. "Get ready for the show." He growled as he walked out the door that Faay had just left.

Elliot looked at her and smiled. "Well you could have told me in advance, I went to your house looking for you." He looked at her with tired eyes then they widened. "You didn't collapse out here did you?" He questioned.
Rena looked away from him and placed her left hand over her right elbow. "I really didn't have a choice."
He stared at me for a long moment then shook his head. "What stressed you out to the point of collapsing."
Rena still kept her eyes so he couldn't read them. "Nothing, I just got to excited."

Faay ran outside and spotted a crowd gathering. She found the source of all the chatter and stares: Rena. She was laying on the grass, looking confused and scared. A man stood right above her and Faay instantly knew who it was. She narrowed her eyes, clenched her fists, and stormed over towards the two. "Why are you here, Mr. Aaroke? State your business." growled an upset Faay.


Haven widen his eyes when Haze raised his hand. He didn't realize he was holding his breath as he exhaled and relaxed once Haze did. He gulped and looked down when Haze told him off, telling Haven something he already knew. He felt like a misbehaved little boy ready for his punishment. I know I need to control Cure. But I don't know how...More than anything Haven wanted to go look for Rena with Haze and Faay, but he knew he already caused enough trouble. Just the fact that she disappeared just shows how much I screwed up...Haven tightened his eyes and gritted his teeth as he made his way across the auditorium. The only thing he can do now to fix things is to make sure the show goes smoothly.

Haze was going to follow Faay out of the building but noticed the fans. The bouncers were having a hard enough time keeping the fans a bay without his help of walking out into the open. He sighed and walked back into the hallway.

Rena was a bit surprised by Faay showing up. But Elliot just smiled his Novelist smile. "I was supposed to come to this concert with Rena, but I found her here." He looked at Rena and sighed. "Now I'm thinking that she shouldn't come after all, I don't think she's up to to it now."

Rena looked at him with sharp eyes. "I'm fine, I can do it!" She hissed.

Faay took a step forward, as if she was trying to protect Rena from Elliot. "Mr. Aaroke, I was unaware of you accompanying us for this event. Rena did not inform me of this. However, I do believe it is her decision whether or not she wants to go. If you decide that this certain situation is unsuitable for your image or tastes, then you are ever so welcome to leave." Faay spoke as politely as she could towards the scumbag.


Haven walked into the practice room to find Soren and Nicolette getting ready. He glanced at the clock on the wall as it ticked to seven o'clock. We only have an hour to get ready and set up. God this always happens..it's all Cure's fault! He slammed his fist against the wall and the two band members were startled as they looked up, worried. Come on out Cure. It's time for your spotlight..
